The Brands Guests Want

Bringing the World of Tea to your Restaurant

As guests’ tastes evolve, so do their expectations for tea selections. With over 60 tasters and 70 sourcing specialists, Unilever is the world's largest provider of quality teas—dedicated to delivering the best tea experience possible.

Pure Leaf™: An Exceptional Tea Experience Starts with the Leaf

Made with the finest ingredients and authentic processes, Pure Leaf™ lives up to carefully crafted menus. It’s made from high-quality, single-origin tea leaves that are gently rolled and blended with real fruit and flower pieces to deliver guests a premium taste and experience.

Long Leaf and Single Origin

Long leaf means carefully selecting the top two leaves and the bud of the tea plant, which are the highest in flavour quality. Single origin means leaves are chosen from the finest tea estates in the world. Like terroirs for wine, every estate offers specific flavour characteristics for each tea.

Left Alone or Expertly Blended

To craft exceptional flavours, tea master blenders complement tea leaves from the right origin with carefully selected fruits and herbs. Sometimes tea is left alone to let its natural essence shine through.

The Story of Sustainability

Pure Leaf™ believes the most delicious tea is real tea, done right and sustainably sourced. They work with the Rainforest Alliance, an international nonprofit, to source teas from estates that promote sustainable practices. The Rainforest Alliance partners with forward-thinking farmers to conserve natural resources and ensure the long-term economic health of crops and communities.

Lipton®: There’s a Tea for Every Time and Place

With the wide variety of flavours available, it’s easy to find something for every type of mood. Unique packaging guides guests to order the tea they want, and the highly recognizable Lipton® brand shows patrons a commitment to quality.

Lipton®: A History of Amazing Tea

Lipton® has always led the way for tea. From Sir Thomas Lipton’s innovative Lipton® tea estate, to his exciting marketing promotions, Lipton® stays one step ahead of the curve. Every drop of Lipton® tea comes from the best leaves on sustainable plantations. No matter what guests are after, their perfect Lipton® moment is waiting.

Today, Lipton® touches many parts of the world. Their tea is grown in estates in Kenya, Argentina and Sri Lanka, and they own tea estates in Kenya and Tanzania.

A Future Committed to Sustainability

Lipton® is working to ensure a better future for the environment, for workers and for their communities. They’ve been partnered with the Rainforest Alliance for over a decade.

They try to keep pesticides to a minimum on their tea farms to ensure natural crop management.

Plus Lipton® is packaged in a zero-landfill facility. The Lipton® Tea manufacturing plant in Suffolk, Virginia, is able to conserve tons of plastic, uses less oil, gas and electricity, and vastly reduces water usage.

Taste the Tradition

For over 100 years, Red Rose has kept their promise to produce a quality blended tea Canadians trust. They’re committed to providing a perfectly balanced, great-tasting tea.

Blended with Care

Red Rose® delivers a perfectly balanced, great-tasting tea—every time. Their tea is selected from the premiere tea gardens of the world, where only the top two leaves of each tea bush are hand-picked. These tender shoots receive the most sunlight and are the finest in the garden.

The Tea Gardens

The Red Rose tea gardens are located in Kericho, Kenya, on the western edge of the Great Rift Valley, where the combination of temperature, sunlight, rainfall, high altitudes, and proximity to the equator is ideal for producing high-quality tea all year long.

The Kericho tea gardens are Rainforest Alliance Certified™. The gardens cover more than 11,000 hectares and produce approximately 20,000 tonnes of tea annually.

Good Tea That’s Good for the Planet

Red Rose's® expert tea tasters blend the freshest and most flavourful tea leaves to create high-quality, great-tasting teas that are also 100% Rainforest Alliance Certified™. Plus they’re packaged in a zero-landfill facility and are Four Star graded by the Tea and Herbal Association of Canada.
